'''{{wp|Brooklyn}}''' is a borough of [[New York City]], located in the [[United States of America|United States]], and the hometown of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in certain media of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. It was initially founded in 1634 by the Dutch as part of the New ~~Netherlands~~ colony, who initially named the city Breukelen after the town in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, but when the English took over New Netherland in 1664 and renamed it to New York, the city's name was changed to Brooklyn, an English corruption of the name of the Dutch-built colonial city. Brooklyn later became part of the United States in 1776 after it declared independence from Great Britain, as part of the State of New York. Brooklyn was its own city until 1898 when it was annexed to New York City as one of the five boroughs.

One of Brooklyn's first mentions in a game is in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', in which, upon being asked if he was from Italy (due to his accent) by an imperial ruler in China, Mario says that he is from Brooklyn, New York. Of course, granted the time period, the feudal lord did not know what Brooklyn was.
